Ethan and his best friend Justin are students trying to make sense of their high school existence. In what will be the last chapter of their teenage lives and the beginning of adulthood beyond, they decide to make the ultimate senior video in their search for answers. Exploring teenage suburbia in a no-brakes adventure, questions arise whether there's more to their lives than simply growing up. A headstrong and experimental feature, THERAPY DOGS is more than a coming-of-age film, it's a time capsule for the rebellious. For the ones that pushed the boundaries when deciding to leave their childhood behind.

A sweet, chaotic, and inventive DIY movie about young people searching for authenticity.

New York Times

A raw, impressionistic portrait of high school as it’s happening. Or, at least, as it’s experienced by teenage boys in a Canadian suburb, in all their wayward hooliganism.

Therapy Dogs, is at once, a war cry, a manifesto, and an absolute jewel for those of us who love the energy and intensity of true indie filmmaking.

Vague Visages

Backed by a soundtrack from Ricky Eat Acid and Teen Suicide that’s ecstatic and melancholy in turns, Therapy Dogs sucks viewers into a headspace and holds them there.

NYC Movie Guru

Shallow, dull, aimless and forgettable. A far better doc about coming-of-age that also blurs the line between truth and fiction with more warmth, wisdom and humor is American Teen.
